Big boy
1,000,000 pounds
1000000 lb = 500 Tons
Between 44 tons and 500 tons, depending on the type. Most fall into the 125-250 ton range. 3/10/12 MJW -- I've been told most commuter locomotives are 200 tons. I had to take a safety course at Amtrak. In Europe, a 'class 66', which is a common diesel freight locomotive, weighs 129 tonnes. Swiss Railways 'Re 460' which is a modern electric locomotive used for freight and passenger trains weighs 84 tonnes. The locomotives used to pull the car and lorry shuttle trains through the channel tunnel, and are some of the most powerful electric locomotives, weigh 132 tonnes.
An SD-70 locomotive typically weighs between 400,000 to 432,000 pounds (200 to 216 tons).
A common example of an object that weighs 1500 tons is a locomotive engine, such as the Union Pacific Big Boy steam locomotive. Another example could be a large military tank, like the M1 Abrams tank, which also weighs around 1500 tons. In the context of nature, a blue whale, the largest animal on Earth, can weigh up to 200 tons, so a group of several blue whales could collectively weigh around 1500 tons.
The weight of a steam locomotive can vary depending on the size and type of locomotive. On average, a steam locomotive can weigh anywhere from 100 to 200 tons.
It would depend on the weight of the locomotive,but :say a million pound loco = 500 tonscoefficient of friction steel wheels on steel rail = .25so 125 tons
The average empty steel boxcar weighs between 25 and 30 tons. The average locomotive weighs 400,000 pounds, but some locomotives weigh much more.

A Boeing 747-400 airplane typically weighs around 400 tons, so a weight of 500 tons could be comparable to a large passenger aircraft. It could also be equivalent to the weight of roughly 500 adult elephants or 10 blue whales.
divid then multiply
It weighs 0.60 tons.
